Great Wood
I was skeptical buying these boards online but the boards were straight and clean. No problems whatsoever. Couldn't have picked and milled them better myself.

Super service, nice wood
I couldn't be more pleased with the turnaround, shipping costs, or the wood itself. I'll definitely be back.

Very nice boards
Received very nice boards. One board had a knot in the middle but the help desk replaced it after I sent a picture. Great customer service!!

Quarter sawn white oak
I just received 103 bf of white oak. Could not be more pleased. With one or two exceptions, the boards are without cupping or curves. The grain is beautiful.

Fantastic to say the least...
I had expectations before getting this wonderful white oak, but never expected to receive such fine pieces. As I looked over this, I couldn't help but feel that the person who picked this out actually thought about the customer. I am blown away big-time. This is the finest quarter sawn white oak I have ever seen. The over-the-top care that was taken by the picker makes me want to order only more from these folks. - In fact, the quality I received exceeds what my local stores could offer by a long shot. For me, I will now be a returning customer thanks to this company, and the person, who picked this wood out.

Quartersawn white oak lumber
Ordered 10 sq ft of lumber to my specifications. Completed in 3 days and shipping took about 10 days. Pleased with the quality of the wood, this was my first time ordering wood online but the website was very user-friendly. Made a center leaf for a friend's 100 year old table.

beautiful quarter sawn oak
My order arrived within a week in great shape. I had heart palpitations when I opened it up. It was beautiful and almost perfectly clear. I used it to make a raised top coffee table for my sister. I don't think I have ever seen such exceptional quartersawn figuring.

Great boards- It helps to provide info on your project and requirements
I have placed several orders with Woodworkerssource.com and have yet to be disappointed. The biggest piece of advice i can give is to provide at least a small amount of detail on your project and some reasonable board requirements. My latest project involves a width of over 12" and i knew i would have to glue up a couple boards to get my width. When explaining this on my order i was pleased to see that they sent some boards that were wider than what was listed on the site. They really want a happy cuatomer and are willing to work with you to get the best results for you. Thanks to all for getting me another great order of VERY nice boards.
Familiarity: I've used it once or twice

I ordered four board feet of quarter sawn white oak to use as a tray and desk while sitting in an armchair. I sanded it and applied tung oil. This transformed it into a rich, golden brown with the rays characteristic of quarter sawn white oak. It's nice to look at touch while I work. I didn't ask much of it. It's just a board. But it is beautiful.

Good Stuff
All the lumber I ordered I would rate as excellent (applies to 4/4 and 8/4). All boards were straight and true with nearly zero "defects" and an absolute minimum of sap-wood. This was my first venture into mail-order stock. I am very satisfied and will be a repeat customer

Fantastic Oak
I recently ordered 15ft of the Quarter Sawn white oak. I wasn't sure how nice the would be and intended to wait what there selection would be like. I received the wood in a couple of days and it was great. I intended to order more while it was on sale but by the time I got around to it the sale was over. I have ordered wood from Woodworkers Source several times over the last couple of years. I have never received any wood that I wouldn't have picked myself.

4/4 Quartersawn White Oak ... Good but may have issues if ...
I know 4/4 wood has a minimum actual size of 13/16". And if you are lucky enough to receive a good shipment i.e., no cupping, warping, etc. this size shouldn't be a problem when milling down to 3/4" thickness. However, the slightest imperfection in the wood will cause problems. I had no problems with what I was making getting the pieces to a final 3/4" thickness because the wood I received had no cupping, warping, etc issues. This is why I gave this shipment 5 stars. I have received a different species of wood in the past where I wasn't so lucky. The grain was nice and straight. The boards were nice and straight and flat. I couldn't ask for more.

Quarter sawn. Nuf said
When it's cut this way my projects have directions on the wood. Or like my girlfriend says: "Even you can't screw this one up Fred." I guess the guys at Woodworkers took pity on me every time I get some quarter sawn lumber delivered. Buy with confidence. This stuff makes projects go smooth.

A bit disapointed....
There was very little 'tiger' striping, effect on the wood. Only 3 of the 8 pieces where really any different from a standard sawn white oak. it was delivered on time, but it was raining and the wood was not rain protected, so lost 1 piece with a bad warp to it. If it rain where you live...heads up

I couldn't find the thickness (4/4) of quarter sawn white oak locally. This was my first purchase of "sight unseen" lumber over the internet and it surpassed my expectations. I bookmarked your website and will order from you in the future.

Thanks for the great figure
I was really unsure about buying this wood without being able to pick it out, but the price was good and I ordered 10 boardfeet. I was nervous opening up the package when it arrived, but I got some beautiful boards that I don't think I could have picked better myself. The coupons you included will come in handy!

Very nice
I made a coffee table out of quarter sawn oak that I got the plans from a Woodsmith magazine. Came out great. Next time this goes on sale, I'm going to load up on more and make a pair of matching end tables. Great wood to work with, makes proud furniture!
